"What they did to you—that? That deserves to be buried for the entirety of your life. For eternity, in fact. God was definitely absent. You have to flush those memories down the porcelain of the abyss. Don't remember those experiences. They will haunt you. Escape your past. Hide the hurt. And whatever you do, don't give them another chance." That's the sin talking.

In this fourth episode of season four, Chris and Kyle continue their five-part analysis of various tracks from the band, First Aid Kit. This episode they discuss their song "The Lion's Roar." It drips with divine providence. Even in the darkness, grace radiates. Even in deception, there is revelation. It also bops with redemption. He was there. He will be there. So listen and see the stability behind the curtain. Hear the faith amid the flux.

How do you practice patience when it seems like everything is in flux? How can you believe in control when you only experience the rush of life? Can relationships actually be patched together and made whole again, or is it all merely psychological bandaging? Is there a silver lining to things, or are we all just doping ourselves with false hope? And what does all this mean for our interactions with others?

In this third episode of season four, Chris and Kyle continue their five-part analysis of various tracks from the band, First Aid Kit. This episode they discuss their song "Silver Lining." They take Christian perseverance amid adversity head-on. Life is a pilgrimage; acknowledge this reality. Your ways have been ordered; adopt your calling. The wages of sin is death; accept your mortality.

What does a Christian do with loss, change, and failure? When it seems like permanence is fleeting and the stability of your efforts is slipping through your finger tips, what do you say to yourself? Or when the veneer of everything glamorous is rotting or getting rusty, what do you say to your neighbor? What do you do when grey seems like the new gold? How do you have hope?

In this second episode of season four, on Common Grace and Communion in Culture, Chris and Kyle inaugurate a five-part analysis of various tracks from the band, First Aid Kit.
